In this episode, I sit down with Zain Shah, CEO and founder of ZEED, a data and AI strategy consulting firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Zain shares how companies often chase shiny AI tools without aligning them to business goals—and why that approach usually fails.

We talk about what actually works when introducing AI into traditional organizations, from aligning data with business strategy to navigating internal politics and building trust across departments.

Zain also explains how he sees AI evolving across industries like healthcare, logistics, and finance, and why starting small with pilots might be the smartest move a company can make.

Plus, we get into some real talk about education, writing with AI, and whether the Matrix scenario is really something to worry about.
